Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. An apparatus comprising: a decoding unit configured to decode plural two-dimensional codes in image data; a selecting unit configured to select a part of information obtained by the decoding of the plural two-dimensional codes; a generating unit configured to generate a two-dimensional code including the selected part but not including the unselected part; a combining unit configured to combine the generated two-dimensional code with the image data; and an outputting unit configured to output a result obtained by the combining.

2

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the output result does not include one of the plural two-dimensional codes including the selected part, but includes the generated two-dimensional code and the other of the plural two-dimensional codes not including the selected part.

3

3. A method comprising: decoding plural two-dimensional codes in image data; selecting a part of information obtained by the decoding of the plural two-dimensional codes; generating a two-dimensional code including the selected part but not including the unselected part; combining the generated two-dimensional code with the image data; and outputting a result obtained by the combining.

4

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the output result does not include one of the plural two-dimensional codes including the selected part, but includes the generated two-dimensional code and the other of the plural two-dimensional codes not including the selected part.

5

5. A computer-readable storage medium storing a control program, which when loaded into a computer and executed performs a method comprising: decoding plural two-dimensional codes in image data; selecting a part of information obtained by the decoding of the plural two-dimensional codes; generating a two-dimensional code including the selected part but not including the unselected part; combining the generated two-dimensional code with the image data; and outputting a result obtained by the combining.

6

6. An apparatus comprising: a decoding unit configured to decode plural two-dimensional codes in image data; a selecting unit configured to select a part of information obtained by the decoding of the plural two-dimensional codes; a generating unit configured to generate image data including a two-dimensional code, the two-dimensional code including the selected part; and an outputting unit configured to output the generated image data.

7

7. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the two-dimensional code included in the generated image does not include the unselected part.

8

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the outputting unit is configured to output the generated image data on a sheet of paper.

9

9. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the output image data does not include one of the plural two-dimensional codes which includes the selected part.

10

10. An apparatus comprising: a decoding unit configured to decode plural two-dimensional codes in image data; a selecting unit configured to select a part of information obtained by the decoding of the plural two-dimensional codes; a generating unit configured to generate a two-dimensional code including the selected part on the image data; and an outputting unit configured to output the image data on which the two-dimensional code has been generated.

11

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the generated two-dimensional code does not include the unselected part.

12

12. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the outputting unit is configured to output the image data on which the two-dimensional code has been generated on a sheet of paper.

13

13. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the output image data does not include one of the plural two-dimensional codes which includes the selected part.

14

14. The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the generating unit is configured to delete the one two dimensional code from the image data before generating the two-dimensional code including the selected part on the image data.

15

15. A method comprising: decoding plural two-dimensional codes in image data; selecting a part of information obtained by the decoding of the plural two-dimensional codes; generating image data including a two-dimensional code, the two-dimensional code including the selected part; and outputting the generated image data.

16

16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the two-dimensional code included in the generated image does not include the unselected part.

17

17. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the outputting is configured to output the generated image data on a sheet of paper.

18

18. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the output image data does not include one of the plural two-dimensional codes which includes the selected part.

19

19. A method comprising: decoding plural two-dimensional codes in image data; selecting a part of information obtained by the decoding of the plural two-dimensional codes; generating a two-dimensional code including the selected part on the image data; and outputting the image data on which the two-dimensional code has been generated.

20

20. A computer-readable storage medium storing a control program, which when loaded into a computer and executed performs a method comprising: decoding plural two-dimensional codes in image data; selecting a part of information obtained by the decoding of the plural two-dimensional codes; generating image data including a two-dimensional code, the two-dimensional code including the selected part; and outputting the generated image data.
